Exterior: Obsidian, Model Year: 2007. What would happen if a 4.2L V8 engine were crammed into a Crown? Toyota designers have already done it, but the official version has never been introduced to the domestic market. The fourth-generation Crown Majesta is equipped with the same 3UZ engine as the Lexus LS430.
In 2006, Hongqi "introduced" this model to the domestic market, renaming it Shengshi. Only the front grille and rear logo underwent brand-specific modifications. Its official positioning was significantly higher than that of the Audi A6L of the same year. There were less than 200 units in circulation in China, and most of them were used for administrative receptions. The 4.3 version was mostly used for receiving foreign guests and high-ranking officials.
After 19 years, the number of Shengshi 430 models available for sale in China has dwindled to a handful, and those with a small mileage are even rarer. With 53,000 kilometers, it is probably the model with the smallest mileage in China. The Majesta's red executive edition is hard to come by if missed.
